OmniOps, the Riyadh-based AI infrastructure company behind the sovereign inference platform Bunyan, is exhibiting at DeepFest 2026 in Riyadh, where it says it will present updates to Bunyan and to its Advanced AI Observability offering. OmniOps is listed on the DeepFest exhibitor floor at Hall 5, Stand I40, and its chief executive appears on the event's speaker programme. This is a different story from OmniOps's other LEAP-week appearance. Earlier this year, OmniOps was named alongside ShaheenAI and MOZN as a founding software partner in Hewlett Packard Enterprise's Saudi localisation push , working under Alnahil Computers as HPE's platform of choice for AI workloads. The DeepFest presence is about OmniOps's own product line rather than that HPE partnership, and the company has not said the two are connected. Bunyan is OmniOps's sovereign Inference-as-a-Service platform, which the company launched in July 2025 as what it describes as the Kingdom's first offering of its kind. It is built to be GPU-agnostic, running text, vision and speech inference workloads on whichever accelerator hardware is available, with all data and compute kept inside Saudi Arabia for data-residency compliance. OmniOps says Bunyan delivers more than 50 percent lower energy consumption and roughly 40 percent faster latency than what it calls traditional inference approaches — figures that come from the company's own launch materials rather than independent benchmarking. The observability side of the pitch rests on a partnership OmniOps struck with Grafana Labs earlier this year, under which it joined Grafana's global partner programme to offer what it calls Advanced Observability services, built on Grafana Cloud but hosted inside the Kingdom. The sovereignty argument is the same one that runs through Bunyan: enterprises and government bodies that need to monitor AI systems in production, but are required to keep that monitoring data on Saudi soil, get a locally hosted alternative to observability platforms run out of foreign data centres. OmniOps describes itself as an AI infrastructure company founded in May 2024, and says it has struck partnerships with AMD, Dell, Google Cloud, IBM, Lenovo, NVIDIA and SuperMicro, along with a separate arrangement with chip maker Groq aimed at faster inference. Those are company claims rather than facts independently confirmed by any of the named partners, and none of the announcements reviewed for this article specify contract values, customer counts or deployment scale for any of them. The sovereignty framing OmniOps is leaning on at DeepFest is not unique to the company. It runs through much of this year's LEAP programme, from Accenture's sovereign AI strategy research to the broader push by Saudi cloud and infrastructure vendors to keep AI workloads, and the telemetry generated by them, inside the Kingdom. CONNECT PS and Cisco made a similar observability pitch at LEAP 2026 for contact centres , though built on different underlying technology and aimed at a narrower use case. What OmniOps has not disclosed at DeepFest is any specifics behind the word "updates" — no new Bunyan features, no observability capabilities, no customer names, and no numbers describing how many organisations are running either service in production. An exhibitor appearance and a speaking slot confirm that OmniOps is presenting its existing products to the DeepFest audience; they do not by themselves constitute a product launch.
